A process for preparing linear block and three arm star block copolymers having blocks of polyisobutylene and blocks of anionically polymerizable monomers comprises mixing a first solution of a polyisobutylene having a number average molecular weight of from about 4,000 to about 60,000 and having from 1 to 3 terminal allylic halogens with a second solution of a living alkali metal terminated polymer having a number average molecular weight of from about 4,000 to about 60,000 in relative proportions at a temperature of from about 10 DEG C. to about 80 DEG C. for a period of time of from about 30 minutes to about 24 hours whereby a significant amount of linear block or three arm star block copolymer is formed. A polyisobutylene having from 1 to 3 terminal allylic halogens is provided and a process for preparing said polyisobutylene.
